I hear the Aussie coins changed not long ago from the shillings and other British versions to the Aussie dollar.
Well that was 1966 actually .... in fact the sixpence effectively became five cents and so many old timers blamed Bob Menzies ( then Prime Minister ) for stealing the 'extra' ! :-)

Ah I see. Good strategy. The engravers have had to politely age Queen Liz over the decades. We live with the morbid apprehension of King Charles The Third.
Cheers, Mike.

Actually we don't!
Quote:
Will Charles become King George VII?
Charles can choose to rule as King Charles III or take another name. Kings often take a different regnal (ruling) name from their first given name. Charles' grandfather George VI was Prince Albert ("Bertie") before he became king, and his great great grandfather Edward VII was also Prince Albert. King Charles I was beheaded in 1649 after the English Civil War, and Charles II was popularly known as the 'merrie' monarch as he had so many mistresses. Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) the Stuart pretender to the throne styled himself Charles III before he was defeated at Culloden in 1746. It is thought possible that Prince Charles may choose to become King George VII after his grandfather.
Interesting. Well I guess I should say that we dread that 'the prince formerly known as Chuck' may become king. DownUnda there is a perception, shall we say, that the cloth of royalty is too tightly interwoven ? Hmmmmm ..... :-)
Cheers, Mike.

What I've heard (doesn't mean it's accurate) is that Chuck knows he's not the most popular guy in the family and there would be public pressure on him to let William have it. On the other hand, he's getting pretty old already and wouldn't necessarily be king all that long anyway (although his mum is sure pushing that envelope). And he's also supposed to feel rather strongly that William and the grandkids would be better off without the added pressure of being king while raising them like Chuck's mum had to do with him and his siblings.
But not being a fanatical royal watcher, I don't really know that much about it.
[edit]
I don't wear Dr. Who socks or shoes. Perhaps you mean to put that in a Scott collage? (Although come to think of it, my socks ARE a sort of TARDIS-y blue.)
Now, milady, may we please have another clue to the mystery person?

The Queen will never abdicate, she will go on until she dies. Prince Charles has spent all his (controversial) life in waiting to be King, and he deserves his bash at it. But he knows that with Queen Consort Camilla he won't be popular. It is expected that he will do say 5 years, then hand over to William. By that time his kids will be grown up and can be left while he is on Royal tours.

Why do doctors have to practice?

Hey nice picture of my *Field Research Lab* aka front yard Queen Ann-iet
Could you do me a favor and mow my lawn (I will leave my John Deere rider out with the key in the ignition) because tomorrow will be sunny here but after that rain again and if it just keeps growing I may need actual deer to eat that 3 acre lawn/hay field
I will be busy mixing concrete here most of the day so I can't get that done at the same time (no I am not making concrete boots )
So here I am sitting, in all my glorious physical unfitness, on the side of a whole room full of (almost) all of the physical education teachers in our whole school district, eating bagels and cream cheese provided by the leader of said teachers.

I am beginning to understand my lack of understanding now. So you're saying that it's a competence issue then :
beyond all help = { CrapAtIt(Mike, x) = true : for all x }
[ The CrapAtIt function has two variables. The first is the given member being evaluated, the second is 'x' which refers to some given activity ]
There may be one exception though :
CrapAtIt(Mike, 'correctly describes CrapAtIt function') = false
Cheers, Mike.
